QUICK NEWS Structure fire in Clearfield CLEARFIELD — Creston firefighters responded to a structure fire about 5:40 a.m. today in Clearfield.

Gary Thompson, Creston fire captain, said the structure damaged was a brick building on main street (Broadway) in Clearfield — located directly south of the Clearfield Lions Club. Thompson said the fire burned completely through the front half of the brick building.

“It was a storage building that was Thompson completely full with items from front to back,” Thompson said.

Clearfield, Diagonal, Lenox and Creston fire departments responded to the fire this morning. Neither the cause of the fire nor a damage estimate have been determined yet.

Creston News Advertiser will have more details on this fire when they become available.

Propane prices

WASHINGTON (MCT) — Severe cold conditions that have gripped the Northeast and Midwest have pushed propane gas prices up as the supply has been significantly reduced. Propane is commonly used as a fuel for central heating, engines, barbecue grills and portable stoves.

A gallon of propane costs nearly $5 per gallon.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley has asked the Federal Trade Com- Grassley mission (FTC) to review the conditions that have led to propane cost spikes in Iowa.

“The recent propane supply shortage and price increases are causing hardship for the many rural Iowa families that use propane to heat their homes,” Grassley said. “I’m asking the agency that oversees business practices to look at the propane situation and see whether the price increases are legitimate or manipulated in any way to consumers’ detriment.”

In the meantime, Grassley encouraged anyone who may be eligible for federal heating assistance to contact the Iowa Bureau of Energy Assistance for more information.

The last time there was a large sudden swing in prices like this was the winter of 1989, when temperatures fell below zero for days around Christmas time that year.

AFTON — Afton Fitness Center, 100 N. Douglas, is giving area residents a little extra motivation to carry out their New Year’s resolution goals. The center celebrated its grand opening Jan. 6.

“We’ve had really good turnout so far,” said owner Laura Tallmon. “I think the biggest thing that’s led to some success here in the beginning is a huge range of age groups.”

Tallmon, 36, said the youngest member at the new gym is 8 and the oldest is 80.

Individuals interested in joining the gym can check out the Facebook page to get prices, or stop in to the gym during staffed hours (see sidebar for hours).

There are three options available — one-month, six-months and one-year memberships — and prices vary depending on age and relationship status.

“I just think the fact that our machines are kind of useable for anybody really helps us out,” Tallmon said.

The workout equipment has a

Hours of operation Members have access to the Afton Fitness Center 24/7 by using a key fob.

The gym will have staff present to sell memberships 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturdays.

variety of cardio machines such as treadmills and ellipticals. Individuals also have the option to use circut weight training machines and free weights.

One age group Tallmon was excited to see participating was high-school students. She said she hopes their participation continues to grow, especially during the summer months.

New features Afton Fitness Center is in the process of adding fitness classes.

The first class will be a six-week zumba class on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. starting Feb. 4.

“There is an additional charge, but being a member will get you a much better rate,” Tallmon said.

The charge for the class is $25 for members and $45 for nonmembers. Tallmon said the additional charge should help keep participation levels consistent for the entire length of the class.

Tallmon said there has been interest in adding yoga and pilates classes in the future, but she is still working to find instructors and schedule times.

Afton Fitness Center is also kicking off a team competition to motivate members to stick with training plans. Teams can register during staffed hours.

“I think especially at the beginning of the year when people make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, it is easier to do things as a team and get a little support behind you,” Tallmon said.

Team members log the number of hours spent working out and a

winning group will be crowned at the end of the 12-week challenge in April.

St. Malachy School will be recognizing Catholic Schools Week starting Sunday. Events are scheduled through Friday, some of which include a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) A SPECIAL brunch Monday at the parish hall, SECTION bowling and sack featuring lunch day in Des St. Malachy Moines on Thurs- students and day and mass/ staff will be grandparents day published in on Friday.

A d d i t i o n a l l y , Monday’s CNA. an 11-page special section will be published Monday in the Creston News Advertiser that will provide more information regarding Catholic Schools Week.

The tab includes photos, a full schedule of events and stories written by students and staff at St. Malachy.

Motivation Tallmon, a nurse in Winterset, was looking for a way to stay active, but was struggling to find a gym she could join that fit her schedule.

By the time she drove from Winterset to pick up her children — Ty and Mia — from East Union School, driving even further to workout was not ideal.

“I started talking to some people and found out there were a lot of people interested,” Tallmon said.

Since the number of hours Tallmon and her husband Adam can spend at Afton Fitness Center are limited, members receive a key fob to gain access to the building 24/7.

Bill aimed at tougher kidnapping penalties passes subcommittee DES MOINES (MCT) — The kidnapping and death last year of a central Iowa teenager has led to a bill being introduced in the Iowa House that calls for tougher penalties in kidnapping cases involving children.

House Study Bill 501, introduced by Rep. Chip Baltimore, R-Boone, was approved by the House judiciary subcommittee Thursday. Baltimore said the bill was prompted by the kidnapping and death of 15-year-old Kathlynn Shepard, of Dayton.

Shepard and a 12-yearold girl were abducted near a bus stop in Dayton in May 2013 by 42-year-old Michael Klunder. The younger girl escaped, but Shepard was killed by Klunder, who later killed himself. Shepard’s body was found nearly three weeks later in the Des Moines River near the Kate Shelley High Bridge near Ogden.

Baltimore said the bill, which has now been sent to the full House Judiciary committee, raises the penalty for kidnapping children from

the current 10-year sentence to a maximum sentence of 25-years.

It also eliminates the possibility of inmates who are convicted of certain crimes, including violent crimes against children up to 15-years-old, from earning time off their sentence for good behavior or participating in treatment programs.

Baltimore noted that Klunder, who was convicted in 1992 in connection with two separate kidnapping cases, only served 19 years of his original 42-year sentence.

Klunder was released from prison in 2011.

Kathlynn Shepard’s parents, Michael and Denise Shepard, gave testimony before the House judiciary subcommittee Thursday morning.

“We’ll work it through the process as far as we can, push it as hard as we can, and we hope that at the end of the session, we have a new law,” Baltimore said.

Report: Iowa community college enrollment down CEDAR RAPIDS (MCT) — Community college enrollment in Iowa this fall was the lowest it has been in five years, and the downward trend is expected to continue until numbers reach pre-recession levels.

According to the 2013 Condition of Iowa’s Community Colleges report, presented Thursday to the Iowa Board of Education, the state’s 15 community colleges combined for an enrollment of 94,234 in the fall. That is down 6.3 percent from 2012 and 11.6 percent from the record-breaking enrollment of 106,597 in 2010.

But this fall’s enrollment numbers are still 6.9 percent above those from fall 2008, before a national recession motivated droves of unemployed workers to go back to school. Now that the economy is improving, local community colleges expect enrollment totals will drop back down, said Kristie Fisher, vice president of student services for Kirkwood Community College.

“And we have planned for that,” Fisher said. “Since our numbers started going up,

Tuition has jumped 58 percent since the 2005 budget year for Iowa’s community colleges. we knew they would come back down.”

Fall enrollment is down at 10 of the state’s 15 community colleges, including at Eastern Iowa’s Kirkwood, which counted 15,345 students – down 8 percent from the 16,661 enrollment last fall.

Kirkwood’s current enrollment is more normal for the school, which saw numbers just above 15,000 from 2005 to 2008, according to Fisher.

Decreases in enrollment shrink tuition revenue, and Kirkwood in the fall implemented the biggest tuition increase among community colleges in the state with a 5.26 percent jump over the previous year.

“Our board has always had a philosophy of holding down rates as much as we can,” Fisher said. “We have had to increase them, but we feel good about where we are at.”

Despite the increases, Kirkwood’s resident tuition and mandatory fees remain

Education funding divides Iowa legislative leaders DES MOINES (MCT) – Top Senate Democrats said Thursday they plan to set a state aid funding level for K-12 schools in the fiscal 2016 school year and provide more money to expand access to preschools for 4-year-olds who currently face access shortages in Iowa communities.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said he expects his 26-member caucus will get an allowable growth increase for the 2015-16 school year on Monday and move the issue to the full Senate for floor debate by the following week to abide by a state law that requires action by mid-February.

“We believe it’s important to obey state law,” said Gronstal, noting that Iowa’s forward-funding law requires the Legislature to establish a future financing level for elementary and secondary schools within 30 days after the governor submits his budget plan – something Gov. Terry Branstad

did on Jan. 14.

The governor and legislative Republicans have ignored the law in recent years, opting in favor of Branstad a biennial approach that avoids overpromising schools state aid before a clearer picture of state tax collections is available.

Branstad and the Legislature approved state aid increases for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 last session, but the governor did not make a fiscal 2016 recommendation in the budget plan he unveiled this month and House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, RHiawatha, said his chamber will wait until the 2015 session to address state aid for K-12 schools.

Paulsen said GOP lawmakers don’t want to repeat a situation that occurred under former Gov. Chet

Culver where a state aid increase was set but then had to be cut by 10 percent when an economic recession slashed state revenues.

Senate President Pam Jochum, D-Dubuque, said Senate Democrats also expect to propose a boost in preschool funding to address thousands of youngsters who are unable to get into early childhood education programs that have helped close the state’s achievement gap.

Gronstal declined to say how much increased fiscal 2016 state aid or higher preschool money Democrats will propose.

Paulsen said no one has approached him about preschool funding levels this session, but he added “if the Senate Democrats are saying it will have a significant pricetage, my guess is it will be pretty big.”

On another topic, leaders from both political parties in both legislative chambers said they expect to have joint fiscal 2015 budget tar-

gets earlier than normal, and Paulsen and Senate GOP Leader Bill Dix of Shell Rock said Republicans will stand firm in resisting efforts to balance ongoing revenue with ongoing spending.

The budget plan that Branstad submitted last week projected net state receipts of $6.983 billion and $7.719 billion in available funds, which was below the expenditure limitation of nearly $7.65 billion. The governor proposed spending $7 billion next fiscal year – a $508 million boost in general fund spending needed to cover commitments to tax relief and education reforms that were approved last session.

Paulsen said he expected next year’s budget would spend more than current levels, but added that his caucus views the surplus as an overpayment by taxpayers that should be returned to them.

among the lowest in the state at $140 per credit hour.

Only Eastern Iowa and Des Moines Area community colleges have lower rates at $134 and $136 per credit hour, respectively.

Statewide, average community college tuition has increased $1,458 since the 2005 budget year – a 58 percent jump, according to the report. And, compared to national averages and neighboring states, Iowa’s community college tuition and fees are among the highest.

Iowa’s average tuition and fees were $1,164 above the national average in 2012, the most recent data available.

And, in the region, only Minnesota and South Dakota had higher community college rates in 2011, according to the report.

Fisher said community college tuition rates in Iowa are higher, in part, because the institutions don’t get as much from local taxes as other states.

“We are always talking to our friends in Des Moines in terms of our needs to serve students better,” she said.

The state report also indicated that the profile of Iowa’s community college students is changing – with a growing percent enrolled as part-time rather than fulltime. Part-time students in the fall accounted for 57 percent of the total, compared with 52 percent in 2011.

And although the typical community college student in Iowa is a white female under age 25, more minorities are enrolling, according to the report. Iowa’s community colleges have seen steady growth in its minority populations in the last five years, with an average annual growth of 14.3 percent.

The state report, according to Fisher, is helpful in keeping community colleges aligned with their institutional missions.

“It provides awareness of the changing demographics and the changing economic environment,” she said.

After I plant the garden, I lay down three to four layers of newspaper and cover with a good layer of straw. This helps with weed control, and it helps hold the moisture. I cut the binder twine that wraps the straw into 12- to 18-inch lengths. As the plants begin to fruit, I tie one near that spot.

Horoscope Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t be discouraged if someone older, especially in a group, is critical of your ideas.

This is par for the course today.

Wait a few days, and this all will be history.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Someone will oppose you today if you present your ideas, especially to a boss or an authority figure. Unless it’s very important, postpone your suggestions for another day.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can study diligently today, because this is a good day for heavy mental work. Your standards are high and your faculties are sharp. Zowie!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because you have excellent powers of concentration and you’re not in the mood to fool around, this is a good day to take care of red-tape details.

Focus on banking, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance matters.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with others might be stilted and standoffish today. People are afraid of making mistakes, and they also are afraid of being rejected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a poor day to run something new by others. However, if you work alone, you can make a lot of headway because you are disciplined and motivated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work is your first priority today, not having fun. Children might be an extra responsibility. Just accept this. It goes with the territory.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Family discussions might discourage you because someone older, probably male, might put a damper on things.

If possible, postpone these discussions for another day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It’s easy to fall into worry mode today. Instead, use the same energy to work at routine mental tasks, because you will do well at this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your finances might discourage you today. This is one of those days where you feel your glass is half-empty instead of half-full. (Where did the money go?)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is actually a good day for mental work or anything that requires disciplined think-

ing. Nevertheless, you might feel cut off or alone. Don’t dwell on this.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your confidence is shaken by something today.

Perhaps someone said something critical, or perhaps your own thoughts are making you second-guess everything.

Don’t worry; this feeling is gone by tomorrow.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a fine mind and many talents.

People find you interesting to

talk to because you are imaginative, observant and full of original ideas. Personally, you have high standards and ideals that you place upon yourself and others, which can lead to disappointment at times. The year ahead is particularly social and inviting. All your relationships will improve in a lovely way.

Snack like a pro on game day (BPT) — Ted Harper, the team sports dietitian of the New England Patriots, and Bryan Snyder, the team nutrition manager for the Denver Broncos, may be rivals on the field, but when it comes to nutrition, they agree on one thing: pistachios are an ideal snack, whether you’re a professional athlete or an armchair spectator.

Harper and Snyder meticulously plan the diets of their teams to maximize each player’s performance and recovery. The hard-hitting impact of weekly games and daily practices takes a toll on the players’ bodies and their nutrition plan is designed to help them achieve specific performance and recovery goals.

Both agree that, while the “Average Joe or Joann” doesn’t take the same hits as a professional football player, he or she still needs a healthy diet to battle the stresses of everyday life. According to Harper and Snyder, a big part of one’s nutrition plan should be mindful snacking habits. And are those choices helping or

hurting your everyday performance?

“One very easy way to improve your overall nutrition is to replace some or all (depending on how you want to tackle the situation; gradually or with full force) of your not-so-wise snacks like chips, cheese flavored crackers, sugary ‘fruit snacks’, pre-made snack cakes, cookies, soda, or candy, with something that still tastes good, but is full of healthy nutrients,” says Harper. “Pistachios are one of the best recommendations I can make, because they’re packed with many important nutrients and because they are very versatile. They lend themselves to just snack on in a pinch, or can be incorporated into the larger scheme of things like adding them into smoothies, topping off oatmeal or sprinkled over a salad.”

Pistachios contain important nutrients, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, which can contribute to a lower risk of heart disease. They’re also a great snack to help with weight management and

1/2 cup granulated sugar 4 large chipotle chiles canned in adobo: approximately 3 ounces 2 tablespoons adobo sauce: from the canned chipotle chiles 6 tablespoons silver tequila 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 pounds pistachio nuts in the shell Lime wedges

may help prevent hypertension and lower blood pressure, according to recent studies.

People who eat a handful of nuts (including pistachios) daily have a 20 percent lower death rate, according to to a 30-year research project published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the largest study of its kind. In addition, other supporting studies showed people who eat nuts regularly tend to remain leaner due to an association with reduced waist sizes and less weight gain throughout the course of life, compared to

individuals who don’t regularly eat nuts.

Snyder adds that pistachios are a great snack for anyone looking to lose a few pounds.

“Not only do pistachios contain fiber and protein, but a study showed that people eat 41 percent less when they snack on in-shell pistachios compared to those who consumed shelled pistachios,” he says. “Cracking open each nut slows down your consumption, and the empty shells serve as an unconscious visual reminder of how much you’ve eaten.”

“We’re all concerned

about our heart health and living a healthy, active lifestyle,” says Snyder. “It’s important that you make smart choices with your nutrition so you can support these goals.”

Roasted pistachios straight from the store will satisfy and nourish, but for a dazzling game day snack, try this tasty pistachio recipe from Chef Robert Del Grande of Houston, Texas.

Pistachios Roasted with Smoked Chile Tequila and Limes Ingredients: 1/2 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions: Combine the lime juice, sugar, chipotle, adobo sauce, tequila and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth.

Place the shell-on pistachio nuts in a mixing bowl. Add the sauce and toss or stir until the sauce is fully incorporated into the nuts. Transfer the nuts to a sheet pan. Preheat an oven to 350 F. Toast the nuts for 5 to 10 minutes or until the nuts are nicely browned. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.

To serve, place the pistachio nuts in a serving bowl.

Sprinkle the nuts with salt and garnish with lime wedges.

Curbing junk food cravings Not long ago we saw a headline that perked up our spirits. It read, “Doughnut chain’s next-year forecast falls short.” Healthier days ahead, right? Wrong. Further reading revealed the fried-dough seller’s profits actually grew by 34 percent.

It was just that financial forecasters thought they would do even better! People, wake up! This stuff is killing you!

“But, Doc,” you say, “I have to have it. Just one!”

We know how hard it is to go cold turkey, and we want to help you get over your junk food addiction as fast as you can. Try these three tricks.

Trick No. 1: Schedule snacks two to three hours after each meal. Then you won’t get blindsided by fat and sugar cravings — that’s what a fast-food addiction is, after all. You can block those urges by eating (instead of a doughnut) plain, lowfat Greek yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit (no sugar added) or some lean protein, such as sliced turkey.

This keeps blood sugar levels steady, easing cravings and helping you lose weight!

Trick No. 2: Become a label reader. Stay clear of anything with added sugars or syrups, trans or saturated fats. And beware of power/ energy/nutrition bars and energy drinks: They may contain taurine, sugar, excess fats (even good fats have 9 calories per gram) and sometimes alcohol.

Trick No. 3: Choose smart sweets. Dried (prunes) or fresh fruit (cherries) give you the sugar boost you’re looking for and benefit your bones and cardiovascular system. Nuts (walnuts, almonds) are loaded with pro-

tein and healthy, appetitesatisfying fats.

HEARTBURN AND ULCER MEDS BURN B-12 Joe Namath. Terry Bradshaw. Roger Staubach. Ken Stabler. These NFL superstars wore the number 12 and, depending on who you were rooting for, that number could be associated with some pretty bad cases of heartburn and stomachaches.

Ironically, you can lose your No. 12 — that’s B-12, a vitamin essential for making healthy blood and nerve cells, DNA and preventing megaloblastic anemia — if you’re taking a proton pump inhibitor to quell chronic heartburn or an H2RA (histamine 2 receptor antagonist) to treat a peptic ulcer. And if you take either of those meds plus the oral diabetes medication metformin, look out: 10 percent to 30 percent of folks on metformin alone become B-12 deficient!

This new health alert is the result of a recent study that found taking PPIs and H2RAs for two or more years can cause a serious B-12 deficiency, which can lead to irreversible brain damage. This happens in part because B-12 bound in food is released by hydrochloric acid and gastric protease, which are suppressed by those meds.

The good news? A blood test can ID a deficiency.

If you’re taking PPIs or

H2RAs, ask your doc to check. If you’re deficient, you’ll take a daily B-12 supplement and maybe get a booster shot. And you can help reverse the deficiency (the recommended daily allowance is 2.4 mcg for anyone 14 or older) by eating fish or skinless poultry (turkey has 48 mcg per serving).

We don’t recommend some shellfish, especially clams (even though they have 84 mcg per serving), because of other concerns, but that’s another column.

SHAPE UP TO SPERMIFY In 1974, at age 60, Jack LaLanne swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman’s Wharf, handcuffed and shackled, towing a 1,000 pound boat. That’s mucho macho! Fortunately you don’t have to go to such extremes to be a healthy guy with healthy swimmers.

But if you’re packin’ even a few extra pounds (around 74 percent of guys in North America are overweight), your swimmers could use some help!

A new study from Stanford University found that the larger a man’s waist circumference and the higher his body mass index, the lower his semen level, and therefore his sperm count.

Men with a healthy BMI (somewhere between 18.5 to 24.9) typically ejaculate about 3.3 ml of sperm-containing semen. Men with a higher BMI produce less semen for sperm to swim in —

around 2.8 ml. And you can get only so many swimmers into that size pool!

So, to make the pool (and your sperm count) bigger, here’s what you need to do: 1. Eat 300-500 fewer calories a day. That equals about 1 American beer (145), a chocolate chip cookie (160) and one cup of sugary cereal (110) with 1/2 cup of whole milk (75). And eliminate the Five Food Felons.

2. Get sweaty! The mosteffective, least-expensive way is a walking routine with interval training. So put on your walking shoes (10,000 steps a day is your goal) and walk 100 steps a minute for 10-15 minutes; then go for 2.5 minutes of intense walking at 130 steps per minute. Repeat as often as you can.

NO PEANUTS WHILE PREGNANT? NUTS TO THAT! “Peanuts” is a beloved comic strip, but in many day-care centers and school cafeterias across North America, the legume is strictly taboo. That’s because peanut allergies have tripled since 1997! (Around 1.4 percent of kids in the U.S. are allergic to them.)

But what accounts for that dramatic increase? Well, perhaps, like Charlie Brown repeatedly trying to kick a football that Lucy inevitably pulls away, it’s because we’ve been fooled into trying to kick the allergy by doing exactly what makes it more likely to occur.

Although in 2008 the American Academy of Pediatrics rescinded its recommendation to avoid peanuts while pregnant (saying there was no evidence to support the fear that eating them could trigger a peanut al-

lergy in a child), pregnant women have continued to avoid eating peanuts. And that has made children MORE, not less, likely to become allergic to them!

A new study shows that if women who are not allergic to peanuts or tree nuts eat them five or more times a month while pregnant, their child is far less likely to develop the allergy.

It appears some kind of immunotherapy is at work and exposing the fetus to potential allergens is a way to help the baby become allergy-resistant.

So moms-to-be take note: Peanuts are inexpensive and a great source of protein (with 7 grams per ounce), plus fiber, niacin, manganese, magnesium, vitamin E, folate, copper and phosphorus. And while walnuts are the only nut loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, peanuts do have other goodfor-you, unsaturated fats.

BEWARE THYROID BOOSTERS When Alice, in “Alice in Wonderland,” downed the “Eat Me” pill, she immediately experienced the negative side effects of taking a med with unidentified ingredients! But her added inches (and distress) were for entertainment. When someone with a low or hypothyroid condition takes an online or over-the-counter “thyroid booster,” they’re risking side effects that are as dramatic as Alice’s and a whole lot more serious — because they’re real!

Non-prescription, unregulated “thyroid supplements” can contain things like bladderwort (with unknown biochemical effects), ashwagandha (claims

to ease chronic fatigue and low libido) or gugulipids (to support the thyroid through the liver ... hmmm?) or ingredients that are downright illegal. A new study shows they often contain excessive levels of thyroid hormones (not listed on the label).

If you’re on thyroid hormone replacement therapy (for Hashimoto’s, for example), the addition of more hormone can trigger hyper-, or overactive, thyroid and you can damage your heart and bones. Even if the “boosters” don’t contain thyroid hormones, their ingredients may interfere with your prescribed treatment.

Some folks take these boosters because they selfdiagnose (never smart) and don’t get safe, effective treatment for real thyroid problems or they don’t admit their physical symptoms actually come from an unhealthy diet and too little physical activity.

Our advice: Feeling sluggish, gaining weight? Ask your doc for thyroid blood tests (for TSH and free T4).

Knock the Five Food Felons out of your diet and start a walking program aiming for 10,000 steps daily. Then you’ll feel more energetic and have a younger RealAge. *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

10 simple ways to instantly improve your finances in 2014 (BPT) - Do you wonder how you could better manage finances? You’re not alone. When it comes to money, most people are far from perfect. Whether you make $20,000 a year or $200,000, some simple steps can start you on the right financial path, and some of them only take a few minutes to complete.

“Personal finance is an intimidating topic, especially if you’ve made mistakes in the past,” says Michael McAuliffe, an adjunct instructor at Morton College and president of the nonprofit Family Credit Management.

“But everyone has the opportunity to start fresh and make improvements. Your past missteps don’t have to dictate your financial future if you resolve to be proactive today.”

McAuliffe recently coauthored a financial workbook titled “Personal Finance Made Easy.” Thanks to a grant from State Farm, the workbook can be downloaded for free at www.familycredit.org, or you can re-

quest a hard copy be mailed to you free of charge. You can use the workbook alone or pair with the free online video lessons. Topics covered include money management, savings, investing and more.

McAuliffe suggests 10 simple ways for you to start improving your finances immediately: 1. Stop, think, save - When out shopping, don’t mindlessly pile things in the cart.

Take a moment to stop, think what you really need, and save by not buying extras. Cutting unnecessary spending is easy when you make a habit of briefly pausing to analyze what you really need.

2. Cut 5 percent - If your employer cut your paycheck by 5 percent, you’d be unhappy, but you’d still be able to survive. Why not make that cut now? Reduce the extras like your daily latte or weekly visit to the salon and the savings will mount quickly.

3. Save - Every little bit counts when it comes to sav-

ings. If you save just $5 a day - the cost of a fast food lunch - you’ll have $1,800 in a year.

It’s OK to start slow and build momentum. The ultimate goal should be to save at least 10 percent of your net income (income after taxes and other deductions).

4. Budget - It sounds simple, but most people don’t have a solid budget. Create a

spending plan now and stick to it. List all expenses and see where adjustments can be made. Refer back to your budget regularly to stay on track.

5. Keep multiple savings accounts - The less accessible your money is, the easier it is to reduce spending. Keep multiple savings accounts and pay yourself first. One

savings account could be designated for an emergency fund, another for a new car or a future vacation.

6. Make it visual - Discourage overspending by reminding yourself why you are trying to save. A photo of your vacation destination, for example, illustrates what you’re saving for; put it everywhere you spend money - wallet, computer monitor, vehicle, etc.

7. Make your money work for you - Consistent contributions add up over time, and thanks to the power of compound interest, the longer you leave your money untouched in a savings account or other investment, the more it can grow.

8. Home savings - If you own a home, you know it can cost a lot of money. Cut costs by doing home improvements and maintenance jobs yourself rather than hire out.

Call your insurance agent and see if there is a lower rate for homeowner’s insurance. Check into refinancing while rates are still low.

9. Manage checking accounts - You need a checking account, but are you really keeping track of your money? Online banking makes it easier than ever to balance your checkbook, track your spending and set up alerts when your balance goes under a certain amount.

10. Review your credit report - From mortgages and car loans to employment and renting eligibility, your credit report and score affect many aspects of life. You can review your credit report for free annually by going to www.annualcreditreport. com. Make sure you know what’s on it and make corrections as necessary.

For more practical financial tips, visit www.familycredit.org and order your free “Personal Finance Made Easy” workbook. In addition to partnering with State Farm on this project, FCM received grants from Bank of America, Barclays Bank and AICCCA (Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies.)

The ‘preventive medicine’ to help protect financial health (BPT) - If injury or illness left you unable to work even for a short time - would your financial health be at risk? Fifty-nine percent of U.S. workers said their financial resources would last 12 weeks or less without a paycheck, and nearly a third (29 percent) would burn through their resources in a month or less if they became sick and unable to work, according to a November 2013 survey from Cigna.

The financial risks of a temporary loss of work can be potentially difficult. Yet many workers already have access to the “preventive medicine” designed to help protect their financial health

- in the form of employersponsored supplemental benefits, sometimes known as voluntary benefits. These benefit plans are increasingly offered through employers as optional purchases by the employee and include such coverages as disability insurance, critical illness insurance or accidental injury insurance. Employees typically pay for these benefits through payroll deduction, and they’re typically less expensive through an employer than employees could purchase on their own.

Without a regular paycheck, workers may find they quickly exhaust their savings on rent or mortgag-

es, utilities, food, child care and other essentials. They may also face unanticipated out-of-pocket medical costs to pay for treatment of an illness or injury. Workers are well aware of these risks; 84 percent surveyed by Cigna said they have worried about being unable to work and over how they would handle the situation.

For many workers, employer-sponsored voluntary benefits can be a way to obtain additional insurance coverage to help them pay for unexpected expenses or stay above water financially until they can return to work.

“Voluntary benefits are an important and growing

part of many employers’ overall benefits packages, and many of these products can offer income protection against the unforeseen,” says Mike Witwer, vice president for Cigna’s voluntary benefits business. “With a little homework, workers can learn how voluntary benefits can fit into their own personal finance plans.”

Three examples of voluntary benefits that can help protect family finances include: • Disability insurance - Disability insurance typically covers a portion of a worker’s regular wages for a pre-determined time span (short- or long-term), when

disabled and unable to work due to a covered injury or illness.

• Critical illness insurance - Nearly 2 million Americans filed for bankruptcy protection this year as a result of medical bills and another 56 million adults could still struggle. With a serious illness, workers may find medical bills mounting - even with health insurance.

Critical illness insurance is a cost-effective way to help offset out-of-pocket medical expenses due to a covered health event. Critical illness insurance pays a lump sum benefit with no restrictions on how to use the money.

• Accidental injury insur-

ance - Accidental injury insurance can help make up for expenses not covered by other forms of insurance. If a covered accident leaves an individual injured, this coverage pays a lump sum benefit to help cover costs.

Many workers have access to these types of coverage through their employers’ benefit programs. In fact, 77 percent of employers with 10 or more workers offer at least one voluntary product, according to a study by Eastbridge Consulting Group.

Three big ways small-business owners can save on taxes (BPT) — If you own asmall business, every dollar matters — especially when it comes to taxes. Whether your business-is a partnership or corporation, Uncle Sam offers some sizeable deductions to lower your liability, allowing you to put those dollars toward capital and-employees.

Easy-to-use-tax preparation solutions have becomean increasingly popular way for small business owners to navigate deductions andtax law changes. The programs ask simple questions about business income and expenses to help maximize your deductions. Solutions, such as the value leader TaxACT, allow you to use their online solutions for free and only require payment when you’re ready to file.

TaxACT spokesperson Jessi-Dolmage-shares three ways to reduce your small business taxes.

Tip 1:-Buy to save

Whenever buying new equipment, technology, software or even furniture for your business, save those receipts-and keep detailed records that include purchase price and date placed into service. You should be able to substantiate any expenses you-claim-on your tax return.

The 2013 Section 179 deduction limit for-new and used assets purchased is $500,000. However, your business must be profitable in order to receive this benefit in 2013. In 2014, the dollar limit drops to $25,000 unless Congress extends this tax break.

Bonus depreciation of 50 percent of the cost of new items expires at the end of 2013. Depreciation can be claimed whether or not your business is profitable.

Tip 2:-Tis always the season for giving Company donations of money, supplies and prop-

erty are all deductible expenses. So are bonuses (and associated payroll taxes) awarded to-your employees, partners and officers. If your business is an S Corporation, keep a close eye on officer compensation to ensure you meet IRS requirements and thus avoid penalties.

Give yourself the gift of education. Take a class or seminar or attend a convention that helps you maintain or improve skills required for your business.

Tip 3:-Business is some-

times personal If you use your home for your business, you may be able to deduct mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, repairs and depreciation.

Corporations and partnerships can also deduct actual expenses for non-personal uses of your personal vehicle, as well as reimbursements to employees for business use of their personal vehicles. Actual expenses may include costs for fuel, maintenance and parking fees. Your detailed mileage

10A Study says economic mobility hasn’t changed in recent decades Creston News Advertiser Friday, January 24, 2014

(MCT) — As the income gap between the richest and poorest has widened, it’s become almost accepted as fact that Americans today are finding it harder to move up the economic ladder.

But a major new study using millions of anonymous tax records concludes economic mobility has changed little in the past three decades.

The research, published Thursday by the National Bureau of Economic Research, does not contradict other studies that have shown increasing income disparity or that Americans enjoy less upward mobility than their counterparts in other developed Western countries.

But the new findings are at odds with statements by President Barack Obama and other politicians suggesting it has become increasingly more difficult for someone in America to move up the income rung.

The study found, for example, that a child born in 1971 to households

in the bottom fifth of income distribution had an 8.4 percent chance of reaching the top fifth of earners.

That compared to a probability of 9 percent for those born in 1986.

Similarly, the study said: “Children born to the highest-income families in 1984 were 74.5 percentage points more likely to attend college than those from the lowest-income families.

The corresponding gap for children born in 1993 is 69.2 percentage points, suggesting that if anything mobility may have increased slightly in recent cohorts.”

The researchers also looked at geographical differences in mobility rates.

They found children in some places had a much higher chance of moving up the income ladder — as high as 12.9 percent for Salt Lake City and San Jose, Calif. — than their peers in such cities as Charlotte, N.C., and Indianapolis, where the probability of climbing from the bottom fifth to the

T:6.75"

top fifth was as low as 4.4 percent.

“The United States is often hailed as the ‘land of opportunity,’ a society in which a child’s chances of success depend little on her family background,” said a summary of the study, authored by Raj Chetty and Nathaniel Hendren of Harvard University and Patrick Kline and Emmanuel Saez of the University of California-Berkeley.

“Is this reputation warranted?” the summary went on to ask.

“We show that this question does not have a clear answer because there is substantial variation in inter-generational mobility across areas within the U.S. The U.S. is better described as a collection of societies, some of which are ‘lands of opportunity.’ ” —————— ©2014 Tribune Co.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Browns coach CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns introduced Mike Pettine as their new head coach on Thursday. He will become the Browns’ seventh-fulltime coach since 1999.

The 47-year-old Pettine takes over for Rob Chudzinski, who was fired after one season at the helm, in which he went 4-12.

Pettine comes over from the Bills, where he served as defensive coordinator under head coach Doug Marrone in 2013.

Before Buffalo, he served for four seasons in the same capacity with head coach Rex Ryan and the New York Jets.

Since the Browns came back into the NFL in 1999, they have only been to the post-season once (2002).

Tjeerdsma stays HUNTSVILLE, Texas — Sam Houston State has decided on its new football coach, and it’s not Mel Tjeerdsma.

The long-time and highly successful former football coach, and current director of athletics, at Northwest Missouri State, was reportedly set to become the new coach at the Texas-based FCS school. That’s not the case, however, as SHSU announced on Thursday that former Delaware head coach K.C. Keeler is the new head coach.

Tjeerdsma was named Director of Athletics at Northwest Missouri State early last year after retiring from coaching at Northwest after the 2010 season.

Keeler has a career head coaching record of 174-73-1. He won an FCS national championship at Delaware in 2003.

New starters NEW YORK — Stephen Curry, Kevin Love, Paul George and Kyrie Irving were voted NBA AllStars Thursday, putting four first-time starters in the Feb. 16 game in New Orleans.

Kobe Bryant was elected by fans to his 16th AllStar game, second-most in NBA history.

BOONE — Let the offseason scouting and gameplanning begin.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association announced Thursday its high school football districts for the 2014-15 seasons.

With Lewis Central moving up from Class 3A to Class 4A, Creston/OrientMacksburg head coach Brian Morrison knew his team would have at least one new opponent to contend with next year.

As it turns out, the bulk of Class 3A District 1 from the past two years remains intact, but Perry also leaves, and in comes Dallas Center-Grimes and Winterset.

“Dallas Center-Grimes, I’m not sure how far they made it, but they were district champs,” Morrison said. “It’s good to have t h e m .

Winterset, obviously we play every year. Otherwise, nothing c h a n g e s . Morrison It will be a competitive district. It will be challenging, but it will be good.”

The district is now known as Class 3A District 8. And with the exception of Dallas Center-Grimes, it includes all teams that the Creston/O-M coaching staff is familiar with.

“Besides Dallas Center-

Grimes, we have a good gauge on who is coming back and JV and freshman wise, who is coming up the ranks,” Morrison said.

“That helps us out a ton. I thought for sure we’d get Carroll or Denison. I think it worked out well. We won’t travel much, which will be great for our fans.”

Area changes Three area teams change classes with the new districts.

Southwest Valley moves up from Eight-Man to Class 1A, while both Mount Ayr and Nodaway Valley drop down from Class 1A to Class A. East Union, Lenox and Murray all remain in EightMan. As announced Wednesday, the Board of Control

voted to eliminate the use of sister districts for the purpose of compiling the 32-team playoff bracket in each class.

Now, the IHSAA will announce playoff pairings prior to each round of the playoffs, taking into account travel distances.

“I think it’s great,” Morrison said. “I think anytime you can eliminate travel, it doesn’t make sense for us to travel to Sioux City or Spencer or for them to come down to us to play a game. We’ll have an opportunity to play teams in our region on a Wednesday instead of traveling three hours for a game. I think what the state’s done for the next two years has been really good for football in all classes.”

District pairings with area teams (2013 records) Class 3A District 8 — ADM, 4-6; Atlantic, 1-8; Creston/O-M, 6-4; Dallas Center-Grimes, 9-2; Glenwood, 5-4; Harlan, 10-2; Winterset, 3-6.

Class 1A District 8 — Central Decatur, 5-4; Des Moines Christian, 2-7; Interstate 35, 1-8; Panorama, 7-3; Southwest Valley, 7-3; Van Meter, 12-1; WoodwardGranger, 6-4.

Class A District 8 — Bedford, 1-8; Clarinda Academy, 0-9; Earlham, 3-6; Martensdale-St. Marys, 2-7; Mount Ayr, 8-3; Nodaway Valley, 5-5; Pleasantville, 4-5; Southeast Warren, 0-9.

Panther bowlers fall at Red Oak No. 19 Kirkwood

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — The Creston/Orient-Macksburg bowling teams both fell to Red Oak here on Tuesday in a Hawkeye 10 Conference matchup.

The Panther girls held a 1626-1602 lead after round one, but Red Oak outscored the Panthers 754-693 in the Baker Rotation to score a 2356-2319 win over Creston/O-M. Devon Eddy had a big day for the Panthers, rolling a high game of 229 and a twoEddy g a m e total of 411, which was 37 pins better than any other bowler in the girls competition.

Madison Hance and Charley Parcher also both rolled well, finishing with two-game totals of 350 and 349, respectively. Jenna Hayes finished the day with a score of 289, while Ashley Knipfer rounded out the team scoring with a total of 227. Aly Downey rolled a 200 for the Panthers.

But, Red Oak outscored Creston/O-M 162108 in the second game of the Baker Rotation and 177-135 in the third game to pull out the comeback win.

On the boys side, Red

Oak had four bowlers post scores better than 400 pins, while all six varsity bowlers posted scored of 396 or better, running away with a 3003-2529 victory over the Panthers.

Chantz Davidson led the Pant h e r s with his t w o g a m e s c o r e of 375, w h i l e B l a k e Davidson E d d y was next at 374. Darin Hatfield bowled a score of 325 and Brett Cheers finished with a score of 322.

Reece Kramer rounded out the team score with a 277.

The Panthers played within 22 pins of the Tigers in the Baker Rotation, but the deficit from round one was too much to overcome.

Creston/O-M returns to action at 1 p.m. Saturday at Panther Lanes against Shenandoah.

JV The Creston/O-M JV bowling teams split with Red Oak, as the girls posted a 1693-1382 win, while the boys fell to the Tigers.

The Panther girls were led by Taylor Suiter, who rolled a two-game score of 259. Alex Miller was close behind with a 254.

For the boys, Tyler Shepherd led the way with a 241 two-game score. Sebastian Peterson finished with a score of 230.

CEDAR RAPIDS — The defensive effort was there, and the Southwestern men’s basketball team controlled the tempo of the game, but just couldn’t get enough shots to fall in a 59-30 loss to No. 19 Kirkwood here on Wednesday.

“On the positive standpoint, we defended very well,” Southwestern head coach Mike Holmes said.

“Holding them to 59 at their place tells you we were executing our tempo, guarding well, challenging shooters.

That part was good.

“We just could not score,” he continued. “First half, they took us out of our rhythm. We were able to control pace, but we couldn’t get the stuff we wanted at the end of our possessions, because they were riding us off our screens. We were settling for some bad looks.”

The Spartans shot 6-of18 in the first half, and then struggled from the floor even more in a 6-of-28 second half shooting performance.

Nick Lenhard led the Spartans with seven points.

Ranked Eagles top SWCC in defensive battle CEDAR RAPIDS — Third-ranked Kirkwood remained unbeaten at home and moved to 6-1 in the conference and 17-3 overall in defeating the Southwestern women Wednesday night, 66-44.

The recent gauntlet continues this weekend for Southwestern, now 1-6 and 3-15. After playing Iowa Central and NIACC from the nation’s top 10 prior to traveling to Cedar Rapids Wednesday, the Spartans host fourth-place Marshalltown at 1 p.m. Saturday. Marshalltown is 4-3 in league play and 13-5 overall.

Southwestern played an effective zone defense in

limiting the scoring of nationally-ranked Kirkwood, after yielding 104 points to No. 1 NIACC last weekend.

Southwestern trailed just 3221 at halftime before losing by 22 and allowing 66 points.

“They ended up shooting 36 percent from the floor and only 28 percent from three (range),” said Southwestern coach Addae Houston. “We stuck with the zone. On offense we executed well and got some good looks, but we shot it only 32 percent from the floor.”

Panthers gearing up for cancer fundraiser Last Friday, I made the trip to Greenfield to cover the Nodaway Valley vs. Interstate 35 basketball games.

Back in Creston, the Panthers were hosting Denison-Schleswig in a varsity doubleheader.

There was a quirk in the schedule, as the varsity girls were the nightcap of the event, since the JV girls were playing the opening game with the varsity boys game sandwiched in between.

With the girls game coming down to the wire in the first contest at Denison and the boys game going to double overtime, I anticipated two highly-competitive basketball games.

Turns out, my gut instinct was correct.

What I didn’t anticipate, however, was the mass exodus of fans at the conclusion of the varsity boys game prior to the var-

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker sports editor

sity girls.

Not only was CNA sports writer Larry Peterson disappointed to see that happen, but it was disappointing for Creston girls coach Larry McNutt.

What kind of message does that send to his girls, when they see a large group of fans get up and leave before their game?

They’re every bit as deserving as the boys of having fan support from the local community. All of those fans who got up and left before the girls game missed out on a good game and a Panther win in the process.

The Panther girls host two

home games each of the next two weeks, highlighted by the “Wrap Up Cancer” game — a varsity doubleheader against Red Oak on Feb. 7.

It’s the annual cancer fundraiser game for the Panthers, and this year, all proceeds will be going to Greater Regional Medical Center for the purchase of a blanket warmer for the Greater Regional Cancer Center.

“Different years it’s (money raised) gone to the American Cancer Society,” McNutt said.

“Last year, we kept it locally to help a couple of students who were battling cancer. This year, McNutt we thought the hospital could use the funds in

their cancer wing to help them out.”

The blanket warmer is used to warm up cancer patients after their chemotherapy treatments.

Funds have been raised through the sale of T-shirts.

While the deadline has passed to order those T-shirts, McNutt said he believes SADD and EAST ordered extras to sell at the game.

Donations are also being accepted in the form of sponsoring the game. Sponsorships are $25 each, and can be purchased by businesses or individuals.

Sponsors will have their names published in the game program.

The girls basketball team will be wearing pink uniforms for the Feb. 7 game, and both teams will warm up in the grey “Wrap Up Cancer” T-shirts.

The event is being organized

by the SADD program sponsored by Angie Bolinger and the EAST program under the direction of Anthony Donahoo.

And, as if the “Wrap Up Cancer” event isn’t enough, the girls basketball game should be an entertaining one.

The Panthers battled all the way until the end with a then10th ranked Red Oak on Jan. 14, eventually falling by six.

McNutt hopes that when the Panthers get the Tigers in Creston on their home floor, they’ll be able to pull the upset.

It’d be nice to have a large home crowd that night to help fuel the Panthers along.

Anniversary This season marks the 25th anniversary of the infamous “rainout” game between Diagonal and Creston boys in the holiday basketball tournament at Southwestern Community College on Dec. 23, 1988.

Coaches were the late Dennis Tassell for Diagonal and Vic Belger of Creston. Current Creston girls coach Larry McNutt was a member of the Maroons squad that year.

Creston players were Clint Baker, current Creston Elementary Principal Scott Driskell, Doug Schlapia, Scott Belger, Brian Haines, Aaron Bjorn and Kurt Belger. Haines was Creston’s leading scorer in the game.
